As of writing this, all the remaining states that still have votes coming in are extremely close competitions between the presidential candidates.

I don't think that's a coincidence as I recall it happening in the past. Are votes easier to count and submit if the state is less disputed, or why are the last states to get their votes in such close competitions?

The last states to have their votes in are not necessarily swing states. The results reported in media are statistical projections. States with a close competition take longer to project, as differences of a few percentage points are practically even. States that have a clearer difference are easier to project earlier with the same level of confidence. That's why the states the media is focusing on toward the end of the count are the swing states with close competitions.
